DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coating container capable of discharging a liquid little by little from a coating section to apply the liquid uniformly and preventing dripping of the liquid after the coating.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when washing clothes, a detergent is applied in advance to a heavily soiled portion separately from a detergent used for washing the entire clothes.
As a detergent to be applied to a specific part of clothing, a solid stick-like detergent and a high-viscosity liquid detergent are known.

[0003] Among these, as a container for applying a liquid detergent, a sponge made of foamed polypropylene is provided at the opening of the container so that the detergent seeps out, and the detergent is applied by pressing the sponge against clothing. There is also known a product or a device in which a spherical roll is provided at an opening of a container, and the roll is brought into contact with clothing so that the detergent is gradually applied to the clothing.

[0004]

However, in an application container using a sponge at the opening of the container, fiber sponge or the like adheres to the sponge, so that the sponge is easily stained. There is a problem that the detergent cannot be applied smoothly due to the large friction.
Furthermore, there is also a problem that the liquid remaining in the sponge after application is dripped out of the container and the container is sticky.

[0005] Such a problem of liquid dripping similarly occurs in a coating container provided with a spherical roll at the opening of the container, because the liquid remaining on the surface of the roll after coating does not return to the container body. I have.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a coating container which can smoothly apply a liquid little by little to a surface to be coated and which does not cause dripping. The purpose is to:

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a container body for storing a liquid, and an application section for applying the liquid to an object to be coated, wherein the application section extends to a tip end.
It has a spatula member formed in a spatula shape, a discharge hole is formed at the tip of the spatula member, and a plurality of grooves are formed from the side edge of the discharge hole in a horizontal or downward direction when the application container is upright. The present invention provides an application container characterized in that: In particular, the present invention provides such an application container in which a groove is formed on both surfaces of the spatula-shaped member.

According to the coating container of the present invention, the coating section has a spatula-shaped member, and the spatula-shaped member has a discharge hole at the tip, so that the liquid can be smoothly and uniformly applied. Becomes

Further, a plurality of grooves are formed from the edge of the spatula member on the side of the discharge hole in a horizontal direction or downward when the container is erected, preferably downward below the horizontal direction. , When this container is erected after application,
The liquid remaining at the tip of the spatula-shaped member is held in this groove. Therefore, the liquid does not drip outside the container, and the outer wall of the container body does not become sticky even in the vicinity of the coating portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each of the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or equivalent components.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an application container according to an embodiment of the present invention when the application container is erected, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a spatula member used for the application container. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a use state of the application container.

The coating container includes a container body 1 for storing a liquid, and an application unit 10 attached to the container body 1 and applying the liquid in the container body 1 to the object to be coated. Cap part 11 screwed into the opening of the container body
And a spatula-shaped member 12A screwed to the cap portion 11.

Here, the container body 1 is made of a plastic container which is elastically deformed by squeezing. Container body 1
There is no particular limitation on the shape, and a particularly easily elastically deformable portion may be provided as a pressing portion for squeezing.

The container body 1 accommodates various liquids from low-viscosity liquids to gel-like high-viscosity liquids as long as the liquid can be discharged from the application unit 10 by squeezing. More specifically, a liquid detergent, a liquid paste, etc., which are applied in advance to heavily soiled portions when washing clothes can be used.

On the other hand, the spatula-shaped member 12A is made of a rigid plate-like material that does not absorb the liquid discharged from the inside of the container body 1, and has a discharge hole 13 formed at its tip. The discharge hole 13 is one end of a liquid passage 14 formed inside the spatula-shaped member 12A.
Communicates within. The diameters of the discharge holes 13 and the liquid passages 14 are appropriately set according to the viscosity of the liquid to be discharged from the inside of the container body 1, and an appropriate amount of liquid is discharged from the discharge holes 13 little by little by squeezing the container body 1. So that

A plurality of grooves 16 are formed on both sides of the spatula member 12A from the discharge hole side edge 15 to the center of the spatula member 12A. This groove 1
6 is formed in such a manner that the spatula-shaped member 12
The direction toward the center of A is a direction that is lower than the horizontal direction when the application container is erected.

Therefore, when using this coating container,
As shown in FIG. 3, the container body 1 is tilted to
When the discharge hole side edge 15 of A is brought into contact with the object S and the container body 1 is squeezed to discharge the liquid from the discharge hole 13, the discharge hole side edge 15 of the spatula-shaped member 12A and the spatula continuous therefrom. By the action of the spatula in the end region of the shaped member 12A, it is possible to spread the coating uniformly. Further, the discharged liquid 17 does not penetrate into the spatula member 12A, and the spatula member can smoothly move on the application target S.

After application, when the container body 1 is erected as shown in FIG. 1, the liquid adhering to the end of the spatula member 12A collects in the groove 16 of the spatula member, Flows downward, i.e., toward the center of the spatula, and is retained there. Therefore, according to this application container, dripping can be prevented. Further, in this case, since the ejection hole 13 is formed at the tip of the spatula-shaped member 12A, even if the liquid held in the groove 16 becomes highly viscous or solidified after application, the clogging of the ejection hole 13 is prevented. can do.

The present invention can take various other aspects .

For example , in the spatula member 12A of FIG. 2, the pitch of the discharge holes 13 at the tip of the spatula member is:
Although the pitch of the groove 16 is the same, in the present invention, these pitches can be set independently of each other. For example, as the scoop-like member 12C shown in FIG. 4,
The position of the discharge hole 13 can be changed.

[0021] In the present invention, can be of various shapes as long as a plate-like member also outline the scoop-like member, for example, as a spatula-like member 12D shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the distal portion d1 can be made thinner with respect to the thickness d2 of the opposite end, and the width w1 of the tip can be made larger than the width w2 of the other end.

[0022]

According to the coating container of the present invention, the liquid can be applied to the surface to be coated little by little smoothly and uniformly, and dripping can be prevented.
